Moments from the Vibrant First AQS Quilt Show in Columbus, Ohio!

September 25, 2026

Central Ohio has a large, vibrant quilting community, but it has been many years since a major quilt show was held here. This week, we finally got the show we have been hoping for, now that the American Quilters’ Society is in town for one of their QuiltWeek shows. The show opened on Wednesday, September 23, and will close at 4 pm on Saturday, September 26, 2026.

I’m vending at the show, and I love seeing so many friends and enthusiastic quilters. I haven’t made it out of the booth much, but today I’m sharing a few photos, and I hope you enjoy a brief glimpse of the show.

Vendor Booth

I have a 10’ x 10’ booth, which is number 1619, located near the winners’ circle. I hope you will stop by if you attend the show!

My Quilts

I found my quilts that were juried into the contest!

Winning Modern Quilts

The Modern Category is one of my favorites, so I was excited to locate the winning quilts. In the non-Paducah shows, the category-winning quilts remain in place, so it’s fun to look for them!
